My husband is a dedicated runner. He runs in even the worst weather conditions, cross trains to prevent injuries, checks in with his doctor about his nutritional needs, and as a result often drinks a protein shake after a workout.
I have so many empty protein powder containers it isn’t even funny. However considering how it contributed to Husband coming in first in his age group and 19th overall out of 800+ runners during his last race, I’m OK with it for the most part.
I repurpose the containers as often as I can for storage before settling on the recycling bin solution. Originally, I was going to upcycle the protein powder containers into GIANT peppermint stick candy decorations and use them to decorate our front porch for Christmas.
After Lacey and I finished the project, I decided to use them as peppermint candy Christmas gift boxes instead. I ran out of cardboard gift boxes and in all honesty, I don’t want to deal with the folks who make fun of my
DIY fabric gift bags this year.
